neoexcaliber Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 It's Thursday and no word from NY regarding my items. Sent them an e-mail and they haven't replied either. I'm starting to think buying in bulk from NY is a bad idea. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Has everyone received shipping confirmation from NY? I got two orders for the super parts and only one of them has been shipped. The other is still showing as Pre-Order - Payment OK (P). I paid for my order about two days before the payment was due. I pre-ordered two sets when they first opened the pre-orders. I have not received my shipping confirmation yet. I'm going to email them since its been about a week when I submitted the payment. Quote
GGemini Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Just got mine from NY. Will try to post pics tonight! Quote
Shukenzero Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Picked one set up last night. Colours are a bit darker than the alto set. Won't be putting on armour...reaction missiles FTW! Quote
Mommar Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Damn, picked up yesterday in Japan. Arrived in Memphis last night, is already in Albuquerque this morning. The United States Postal Service has nothing on Fed Ex. Quote
raziel03 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Just got my shipping notification last night. I might be upset that it took so long compared to other members on here, but I chose SAL, so I wasn't really in any hurry anyway. Quote
SilentCrossHairs Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 The receptionist just brought mine through the door. YAYYY!!!!! Quote
Axelay Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Who's currently offering the best price + shipping on the armor packs...? N-Y is asking 6,180JPY before shipping. Quote

The other is still showing as Pre-Order - Payment OK (P). Yea NY just shipped my order this morning after I sent them a follow up email. This is actually the second time in a row where there was a whole week from when they said the (paid for) item would be in stock before it was actually shipped. Quote
Mommar Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Got a call, my package arrived at the house this morning. It's a long day at work, and longer day at the gym afterward. Quote

neoexcaliber Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 They sent mine out last night but I'm guessing it has something to do with the email I sent to them on Wednesday. I'm guessing they ship out individual units or smaller orders first vs bulk. Quote
Jasonc Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Just got my armor parts for the 171 in today. Love this set. The MDE bombs are awesome, and the new RMS missiles are huge. It's a very nice set. Very satisfied. Quote
TCracker Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 not going to bother with the CF171 Armor parts. I have 3 CFs with broken triangles and I am just going to display them. No value whatsoever to spend more on them. Quote
Loop Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 NY shipped mine, but it seemed to correspond with the message I sent. I sent a message last night then got an e-mail stating the item shipped. Quote
mechaninac Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Add me to the list of those who've just received shipping notification from N-Y. SAL shipping, so it should be in my grubby hands in 1+ to 3 weeks; curious to see what $78 and change gets me... Quote
Scyla Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Mine shipped from NY and is already on a plane out of Japan. Picked one set up last night. Colours are a bit darker than the alto set. Won't be putting on armour...reaction missiles FTW! I don't get it. Why they bothered with that. I mean the Frontier line is clearly movie centric (Super and Armor Parts for the VF-171 and VF-27, the YF-29). In the movies the armor panels have a light gray color. Bandai decided to change the color of the armor panels into a different color than the Alto release. Why on earth did they not cast them in the right color. I guess it is the same with the white skulls and crossbones on the YF-29 30th Anniversary Super Parts. It just makes no sense. However maybe Kawamori intervened and said the color in the movie looked dumb and he wants it changed into a dark blue. Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Ware r teh pix bro? But seriously, Where are they? Quote
Loop Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I know, I am still waiting on mine. Maybe someone will review them. Quote
Mommar Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I don't want to take mine out of Gerwalk for fear the shoulders will break. Quote
master of macross Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 NY shipped my 2 copy yesterday...5 days later than "priority"... Quote
Graham Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Got my set from NY yesterday. Sheesh, the Reaction missiles and MDEs are huge! But on examining one of my VF-171 that has never been transformed and just kept on the shelf in fighter mode, I discovered a newly formed crack in one if the black triangle pieces Graham Quote
Golden Arms Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Yeah one of my armors from Ny arrived as well. The reaction missiles are ginormous. I loathe the circular pieces that connects the wings to the body. It takes way too much effort to remove and place them in correctly. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 My VF-171 has been sitting in a display case since I bought it. Other then attaching the gunpod and lowering the gear, it's been virtually untouched. I just checked it out and sure enough, cracks on both black triangles. Nice job Bandai. That has to be some sort of record for easiest Valk breakage. Do nothing and it still breaks. Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I still have on unscathed, for now. The other one has a crack on the lower triangle And the other side the lower triangle just broke off. My broken one is in gerwalk and the good one is forever in fighter mode. I've given my Alto the job of being the Battroid mode. Quote
HG Blows Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Sooo, do you still use the small wing pins with the hard point wings, or just the big pins? Also, the one cracked triangle that I got right out of the box is now multiple cracks on both sides just from sitting on my shelf. Good stuff. Edited September 29, 2013 by HG Blows Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 While putting on the armor I twisted the leg wrong and when I tried to twist it back I broke off the knee cover and I can't seem to glue it back on. Maybe I'll break off the other knee cover to make it look symmetrical I guess it will just have to stay in plane mode Quote
Kurisama Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Jeeeeeesus - I've never such a cacophony of sound-offs for breakages - most fragile valk ever?? BTW, looking into Shapeways-ing replacement parts for the nuns-folding shoulder part and the underside triangle part. Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, you could make a solid triangle that doesn't fold in half. If you just fold the legs down like it's going to be in gerwalk, and swing the shoulders out, you can just swing the whole thing into the body. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I picked up my super pack from the post office Saturday morning. I love the giant reaction and MDE missiles. I already started work on recoloring the super pack, but when I was looking at the images Kelsain put up a couple pages ago, I noticed that the whole thing was just a monotone gray. I decided it would look better if it had some variation to the color and only painted the blue parts while masking off the other areas. I also chose to use medium gray which I thought looked better with the VF-171's blue-green than the light gray. It's not done yet, but here's what I have so far. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Great color choice! Can't wait to see your VF-171 CF with those packs installed! Quote
wm cheng Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Way to go MJ!!! Great airbrush control and subtlety - you're ready for models! Can't wait to see them on. Quote
